Hi there. I'm new to this forum, and just purchased a 2016 F-Type R with only 2,638 miles. Found it in Florida, posted a deposit, flew there the next day, drove it, had it shipped to Reno. Just returned from a thrilling drive up Pacific Coast Highway from Hearst Castle to Carmel with two tight mountain passes across the Sierra Nevada mountain range going and coming home. Love this car! Looking for any information anyone can provide on one exhaust pipe (not both) leaking condensation from the flange. The soot is ruining my colorful (and expensive) driveway pavers. The dealer says "it's normal, from weep holes, designed that way." I wonder why not both pipes then? Others on this forum
say it is a poor weld and should be fixed. Any knowledgeable certified Jaguar mechanics out there who care to comment? Is there a weep hole right at the flange (just behind the rear axle, before the muffler)? Is this car designed to stain my driveway?
Anyway, happy to be here. Recently sold a 638hp ZR1, but I really think this car is more fun to drive!
